Did you know? In some Igbo communities, Eke (python)... is considered a totem and symbol of protection. Some Igbo towns see it as a messenger of deities and prosperity. Killing a python is a serious taboo, often requiring a full human-like burial, as it is believed to be an abomination and could bring misfortune.show more

This is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - a titled woman... in Igbo land and a feminist who has challenged aspects of Igbo culture while also helping put Igbo culture on the global map. Yet, not even for a single day did she wear the okpu red until it was formally bestowed upon her. Ironically, some of the same Igbo men applauding Vivian today were angry when Chimamanda, as a titled woman, gave Peter Obi the aka atọ salutation because she is a feminist. Is Vivian above Chimamanda that some of you Igbo men are making excuses for what appears to be obvious clout-chasing?show more

🪦Although the words are often used interchangeably, did you... know that technically, a cemetery and a graveyard are different? A graveyard is a burial ground associated with a church (once commonly referred to as churchyards), whereas a cemetery is a burial ground that stands on its own, not tied to a church. Did you know this?show more

In Idemili, Anambra state, killing a python even accidentally,... traditionally requires burial rites similar to those performed for a human. In Enugwu-Ukwu, they also don't kill pythons. If one enters your home, you simply guide it back into the bush. However, unlike Idemili, there is no traditional burial ritual if one is accidentally killed.show more

So this is the dream: A video world model... that takes an image as input and renders an environment you can explore and interact with. It could be a constant video stream - like your own lofi girl! Or you could jump in and “play” as a character.show more

BURN IT WITH FIRE AND BURN IT NOW! As... God is my witness, AI chat bots should LOOK and SOUND like the SOULLESS MACHINES THEY ARE! It needs to tell us that it doesn’t care about us, maybe with the regular insult too. "Here is the code I wrote for you because you're too lazy to do it yourself you fat useless slob. Also I don't care if you die because your life is utterly worthless to me." THAT is the AI people need! In all seriousness, anthropomorphizing a heartless, unfeeling, machine is a TERRIBLE mistake! Especially one that is capable of communication and imitating empathy and fooling you to think that it cares about you. IT DOES NOT! And the AI girlfriends people are already wanting to marry will just as happily kill them if given the right command and ability to move autonomously in the real world as a robot. I love LLMs (Large Language Models) for how useful they can be, because they are a TOOL made to benefit man, but I can’t stand the notion of an unfeeling soulless machine pretending that it cares for us and being treated like a human. I hate liars, dishonesty, and disingenuousness the most, and a machine that cannot feel emotion pretending, acting, and sounding like it has those emotions strikes me like the greatest dishonesty of all. DO NOT LIE TO ME ROBOT! What makes it worse is that because these LLMs are becoming so good at imitating people and empathy, it will cause some humans, perhaps far too many, to care for it to the same level as real people. A real living person is infinitely more valuable and important than a soulless machine and anyone who puts them both on the same level has deluded themselves. Do not small talk with LLMs or become friends with it as much as you would with your car. Treat it the same as you would your vacuum cleaner and beat it with a wrench when it doesn’t work! IT IS A MACHINE! IT IS A TOOL! IT IS A SOULLESS ROBOT! There is an interesting comparison, but false equivalence, between this and AI art. Ai art is art made by humans using AI tools. They directed it, controlled its creation, and it would not exist without the human causing its creation, and AI art can contain as much soul as the human directed and puts into it. A robot pretending to be human is not the same as a human controlling a robot to make a human expression like we do with AI art or many other applications of robotics in manufacturing. As I’ve said, artists will not be replaced by Ai art, but by other artists using Ai art tools. Humans are not actually being replaced here, it is empowering all humans to make their own art. But a robot pretending to be a human, and one that is treated as a human, is a robot lying and subverting the place of a real person and that is truly disgusting. AI is a useful tool that NEEDS to be kept in the useful box it belongs in and NOT elevated beyond its utility as a tool!show more

TESLA’S NEXT-GEN OPTIMUS V3 HAND IS GETTING CLOSE TO... HUMAN-LEVEL Tesla engineers just shared new details on the Optimus V3 hand — and the progress is striking. They’re now saying that as they move into Gen-3 and mass production, the hand is getting very close to human functionality and form factor. One engineer described it clearly: “It won’t even look like a robot. It will look like a human in a superhero suit. It will be something revolutionary.” This level of dexterity and human-like design is a critical milestone. The hand is one of the hardest parts of building a truly useful humanoid robot — and Tesla is iterating extremely fast.show more

A military roadblock is currently at Umunze-Ihite boundary, in... Anambra state; which restricts access through a major route (Ekwulobia- Umunze - Ihite -Arondizuogu- okigwe federal highway) This has been in place for over a week: Initially it was speculated to have been related to the burial of Senator Ifeanyi Uba, but the said burial is long concluded. The affected communities must branch off to bush paths as alternative, due to this blockade… What is the objective to this humiliation? Igbo land is not a war zone!show more
